Definitions
- the invention relates to an IV catheter according to claim 1.
- This invention relates generally to intravenous (IV) catheters, and, in particular, to a safety IV catheter in which the needle tip is automatically covered after needle withdrawal to prevent the health-care worker from making accidental contact with the needle tip.
- IV intravenous
- I.V. catheters are primarily used to administer fluids, sometimes containing medications, directly into a patient's vascular system.
- the catheter is inserted into a patient's vein by a health care worker by using a handheld placement device that includes a sharp tip needle.
- the needle is positioned in the interior hollow portion of the catheter with its tip extended slightly beyond the edge of the catheter.
- the end of the apparatus opposite the needle tip is made up of the needle connected to a needle hub which is capable of being held by the health care worker during the insertion procedure.
- the insertion procedure contains four basic steps: (1) the health care worker inserts the needle and catheter together into the patient's vein; (2) after insertion into the vein with the needle point, the catheter is forwarded into the vein of the patient by the health care worker pushing the catheter with his or her finger; (3) the health care worker withdraws the needle by grasping the hub end (opposite the point end) while at the same time applying pressure to the patient's skin at the insertion site with his or her free hand; and (4) the health care worker then tapes the now inserted catheter to the patient's skin and connects the exposed end of the catheter, the catheter hub, to the source of the fluid to be administered into the patient's vein.
- the problem is that immediately after the withdrawal of the needle from the patient's vein, the health care worker who is, at this time, involved in at least two urgent procedures must place the exposed needle tip at a nearby location and address the tasks required to accomplish the needle withdrawal. It is at this juncture that the exposed needle tip creates a danger of an accidental needle stick occurring, which under the circumstances, leaves the health care worker vulnerable to the transmission of various, dangerous blood-borne pathogens, including AIDS and hepatitis.
- the prior art safety catheters all exhibit one or more drawbacks that have thus far limited their usefulness and full acceptance by health-care workers.
- the force required to engage the needle slot within the guard flange is relatively great and would interfere with the removal of the needle. Reducing this force to a more acceptable level would create the possibility of the needle guard remaining in the catheter hub after the needle is removed from the catheter.
- the safety catheter disclosed in the Lemieux patent would not consistently function in a reliable manner.
- the user of the safety catheter disclosed in the Dombrowski patent would have to exert a considerable force to remove the protective cap from the catheter hub, when the cap engages a needle.
- the safety catheter disclosed in the Dombrowski patent would also be relatively expensive to fabricate because of its inclusion of a flexible flange and a tether.
- US-A-5 135 504 discloses a needle guard in the form of a hollow cylinder with a split end and slanted overlapping end caps.
- a retaining ring is held tightly by a friction fit with the inner wall of a catheter hub.
- the outside diameter of the guard is less than the inside diameter of the ring, wherein the needle shaft flares out the end of the guard displacing the end caps outward into the larger internal diameter portion of the hub.
- the guard is therefore prevented from moving by the retaining ring as the needle is withdrawn.
- a slightly widened portion of the needle tip catches the guard, forcing the end of the guard to close over the tip and pulling the guard from the hub.
- the McLees protective device requires an irksome, extra pulling action or tug on the needle guard through a retention ring to remove the protected needle from the catheter hub.
- the McLees device also requires the assembly of two separate components and is thus relatively costly to manufacture.
- the needle in the McLees device includes a larger diameter portion near and at the needle tip. This feature of the McLees device would require that the remainder of the needle be of a lesser diameter which would have the adverse effect of slowing the blood flashback through the needle.
- the spring clip needle guard is in the form of resilient intersecting arms, each terminating at a distal guard wall.
- the needle passes through the guard and urges the resilient arms away from each other and against the inner wall of the catheter hub.
- the resilient arms spring to the safety position in which both of the guard walls are positioned distally from the needle tip, thereby to form a barrier that prevents inadvertent contact with the needle tip.
- Figs. 1A and 1B are views in partial cross-section of a safety IV catheter in accordance with the invention shown in the ready and protected positions, respectively;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective of the needle guard clip of the embodiment of Fig. 1 .
- the safety IV catheter generally designated 10, in the embodiment illustrated in Figs.1A and 1B , includes a needle hub 12 that includes an axial opening 14 which securely receives the proximal end of a needle 16 having a sharpened tip 18.
- the needle hub 12 as is conventional, is hollow and includes a flash chamber 22.
- the needle 16 is received within a hollow tubular catheter 24, the proximal end of which is concentrically affixed within the distal end of a catheter hub 26.
- the distal end of the needle hub 12 is snugly received in the proximal end of the interior of the catheter hub 26 such that the needle 16 extends through the catheter hub 26 and catheter 24 so that its tip extends beyond the tapered distal end of the catheter.
- the distal tip of the needle and the catheter are inserted into a patient's vein. Thereafter, the health care practitioner manually places the catheter further into the vein and then withdraws the needle by grasping and moving by hand the proximal end of the needle hub 12. The catheter hub 26 is then fitted with a source of the fluid that is to be administered into the patient's vein.
- a protective needle guard 120 located within the catheter hub 26 automatically snaps into a retracted position in which it blocks access to the distal needle tip and prevents further distal movement of the needle tip, thereby to prevent accidental contact by the health care practitioner with the needle tip.
- the needle guard 120 is in the form of a unitary spring clip that is preferably made of a resilient metal such as stainless steel.
- the embodiment of the spring clip needle guard 120 disclosed in Figs. 1A, 1B , and 2 comprises first and second arms 122 and 124 respectively joined at their proximal ends in a hinged arrangement at 125 to the ends of a rear wall 126.
- the distal ends of arms 122, 124 each include a curved protrusion 128 extending to a distal end wall 130, which in turn terminates in a lip 132.
- rear wall 126 includes a central opening 134
- arms 122 and 124 each include a narrow portion 142 that extends between a distal wide portion 144 and a proximal wide portion 140.
- a lateral clamping edge 146 is defined at the distal wide portion 144.
- Fig. 1A when the needle guard 120 is in its ready position, the curved protrusions 128 in each of arms 122, 124 are received in an annular groove or ring 136 formed in the inner wall of catheter hub 26, which is removably fitted into the distal end of a needle hub 12.
- a needle 16 having a sharpened tip 18 at its distal end is received within a tubular catheter 24, which is secured to the distal end of catheter hub 26.
- the proximal end of needle 16 passes through opening 134 in rear wall 126.
- Needle 16 includes an increased diameter bulge 138, which is sufficiently small to allow needle 16 to move axially along catheter 24, but greater in diameter than opening 134 for reasons to be described below.
- the needle shaft passes through the needle guard and applies an outward radial force on resilient arms 122, 124 by means of its engagement with lips 132, so as to urge the curved protrusions 128 of each of the arms into the annular groove 136, so as to retain needle guard 120 in a fixed position within the inner wall of catheter hub 26.
- the shaft of needle 16 that passes through the needle guard 120 frictionally engages the inner edges of the narrow portions 142 of arms 122, 124 so as to further retain the needle in its ready position.
- the needle guard 120 and the needle clamped to the needle guard after needle retraction can be removed from the catheter hub as a unitary assembly, and safely discarded. If an attempt is made, intentionally or inadvertently, to pull the needle further to the right, as viewed in Fig. 1B , out of the needle guard, the bulge 138 on the needle shaft will come into contact with the end wall 126, and since its diameter is greater than that of opening 134, the end wall 126 will at this point prevent any further axial movement of the needle out of the needle guard.
Description
- The invention relates to an IV catheter according to claim 1.
- This invention relates generally to intravenous (IV) catheters, and, in particular, to a safety IV catheter in which the needle tip is automatically covered after needle withdrawal to prevent the health-care worker from making accidental contact with the needle tip.
- I.V. catheters are primarily used to administer fluids, sometimes containing medications, directly into a patient's vascular system. The catheter is inserted into a patient's vein by a health care worker by using a handheld placement device that includes a sharp tip needle. The needle is positioned in the interior hollow portion of the catheter with its tip extended slightly beyond the edge of the catheter. The end of the apparatus opposite the needle tip is made up of the needle connected to a needle hub which is capable of being held by the health care worker during the insertion procedure.
- The insertion procedure contains four basic steps: (1) the health care worker inserts the needle and catheter together into the patient's vein; (2) after insertion into the vein with the needle point, the catheter is forwarded into the vein of the patient by the health care worker pushing the catheter with his or her finger; (3) the health care worker withdraws the needle by grasping the hub end (opposite the point end) while at the same time applying pressure to the patient's skin at the insertion site with his or her free hand; and (4) the health care worker then tapes the now inserted catheter to the patient's skin and connects the exposed end of the catheter, the catheter hub, to the source of the fluid to be administered into the patient's vein.
- The problem is that immediately after the withdrawal of the needle from the patient's vein, the health care worker who is, at this time, involved in at least two urgent procedures must place the exposed needle tip at a nearby location and address the tasks required to accomplish the needle withdrawal. It is at this juncture that the exposed needle tip creates a danger of an accidental needle stick occurring, which under the circumstances, leaves the health care worker vulnerable to the transmission of various, dangerous blood-borne pathogens, including AIDS and hepatitis.
- This danger to the health care worker from accidental needle sticks has caused an impetus for the development of a safer IV catheter in which the occurrence of such accidental needle sticks is prevented. Safety catheters that have been developed to achieve this result are disclosed, for example, in Lemieux Reissue Patent No. Re. 34,416,
Crawford U.S. Patent No. 5,558,651 ,McLees U.S. Patent No. 5,135,504 ,Gaba U.S. Patent No. 5,697,907 , andDombrowski U.S. Patent No. 4,978,344 .Kulli U.S. Patent No. 4,929,241 andChamuel U.S. Patent No. 5,053,017 disclose a protective needle guard for use with a hypodermic needle. - The prior art safety catheters all exhibit one or more drawbacks that have thus far limited their usefulness and full acceptance by health-care workers. For example, in the safety catheter disclosed in the Lemieux patent, the force required to engage the needle slot within the guard flange is relatively great and would interfere with the removal of the needle. Reducing this force to a more acceptable level would create the possibility of the needle guard remaining in the catheter hub after the needle is removed from the catheter. As a result, the safety catheter disclosed in the Lemieux patent would not consistently function in a reliable manner.
- Similarly, the user of the safety catheter disclosed in the Dombrowski patent would have to exert a considerable force to remove the protective cap from the catheter hub, when the cap engages a needle. The safety catheter disclosed in the Dombrowski patent would also be relatively expensive to fabricate because of its inclusion of a flexible flange and a tether.
-
US-A-5 135 504 discloses a needle guard in the form of a hollow cylinder with a split end and slanted overlapping end caps. A retaining ring is held tightly by a friction fit with the inner wall of a catheter hub. The outside diameter of the guard is less than the inside diameter of the ring, wherein the needle shaft flares out the end of the guard displacing the end caps outward into the larger internal diameter portion of the hub. The guard is therefore prevented from moving by the retaining ring as the needle is withdrawn. A slightly widened portion of the needle tip catches the guard, forcing the end of the guard to close over the tip and pulling the guard from the hub. - The McLees protective device requires an irksome, extra pulling action or tug on the needle guard through a retention ring to remove the protected needle from the catheter hub. The McLees device also requires the assembly of two separate components and is thus relatively costly to manufacture. In addition, the needle in the McLees device includes a larger diameter portion near and at the needle tip. This feature of the McLees device would require that the remainder of the needle be of a lesser diameter which would have the adverse effect of slowing the blood flashback through the needle.
- It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a safety IV catheter, which reliably and automatically prevents accidental, inadvertent contact with the needle tip after use.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a safety catheter which provides reliable protection to the health care practitioner against needle sticks without requiring any change in the manner of use of the safety catheter by the practitioner.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a safety IV catheter of the type described which is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a safety catheter of the type described in which removal of the needle from the needle guard after use is prevented.
- This is achieved by the features in claim 1.
- According to the invention the spring clip needle guard is in the form of resilient intersecting arms, each terminating at a distal guard wall. When the needle is in the ready position it passes through the guard and urges the resilient arms away from each other and against the inner wall of the catheter hub. When the needle is retracted past the guard walls, the resilient arms spring to the safety position in which both of the guard walls are positioned distally from the needle tip, thereby to form a barrier that prevents inadvertent contact with the needle tip.
-
Figs. 1A and 1B are views in partial cross-section of a safety IV catheter in accordance with the invention shown in the ready and protected positions, respectively; and -
Fig. 2 is a perspective of the needle guard clip of the embodiment ofFig. 1 . - The safety IV catheter , generally designated 10, in the embodiment illustrated in
Figs.1A and 1B , includes aneedle hub 12 that includes anaxial opening 14 which securely receives the proximal end of aneedle 16 having a sharpenedtip 18. Theneedle hub 12, as is conventional, is hollow and includes aflash chamber 22. As is also conventional, theneedle 16 is received within a hollowtubular catheter 24, the proximal end of which is concentrically affixed within the distal end of acatheter hub 26. - In the ready position of the catheter shown in
Fig. 1A , the distal end of theneedle hub 12 is snugly received in the proximal end of the interior of thecatheter hub 26 such that theneedle 16 extends through thecatheter hub 26 andcatheter 24 so that its tip extends beyond the tapered distal end of the catheter. - In use, the distal tip of the needle and the catheter are inserted into a patient's vein. Thereafter, the health care practitioner manually places the catheter further into the vein and then withdraws the needle by grasping and moving by hand the proximal end of the
needle hub 12. Thecatheter hub 26 is then fitted with a source of the fluid that is to be administered into the patient's vein. - As the
needle 16 is being withdrawn from the patient, aprotective needle guard 120 located within thecatheter hub 26 automatically snaps into a retracted position in which it blocks access to the distal needle tip and prevents further distal movement of the needle tip, thereby to prevent accidental contact by the health care practitioner with the needle tip. - As shown in
Fig. 1A , theneedle guard 120 is in the form of a unitary spring clip that is preferably made of a resilient metal such as stainless steel. - The embodiment of the spring
clip needle guard 120 disclosed inFigs. 1A, 1B , and2 comprises first andsecond arms rear wall 126. The distal ends ofarms curved protrusion 128 extending to adistal end wall 130, which in turn terminates in alip 132. As seen best inFig. 2 ,rear wall 126 includes acentral opening 134, andarms narrow portion 142 that extends between a distalwide portion 144 and a proximalwide portion 140. Alateral clamping edge 146 is defined at the distalwide portion 144. - As shown in
Fig. 1A , when theneedle guard 120 is in its ready position, thecurved protrusions 128 in each ofarms ring 136 formed in the inner wall ofcatheter hub 26, which is removably fitted into the distal end of aneedle hub 12. Aneedle 16 having a sharpenedtip 18 at its distal end is received within atubular catheter 24, which is secured to the distal end ofcatheter hub 26. The proximal end ofneedle 16 passes throughopening 134 inrear wall 126.Needle 16 includes an increaseddiameter bulge 138, which is sufficiently small to allowneedle 16 to move axially alongcatheter 24, but greater in diameter than opening 134 for reasons to be described below. - In the ready position illustrated in
Fig. 1A , the needle shaft passes through the needle guard and applies an outward radial force onresilient arms lips 132, so as to urge thecurved protrusions 128 of each of the arms into theannular groove 136, so as to retainneedle guard 120 in a fixed position within the inner wall ofcatheter hub 26. The shaft ofneedle 16 that passes through theneedle guard 120 frictionally engages the inner edges of thenarrow portions 142 ofarms - When the needle is retracted axially, to the right as viewed in
Fig. 1A , within the catheter hub, and moves past theend lip 132 of the needle guard, the radial force previously exerted onarms needle guard 120 is suddenly released. This causes thedistal end walls 130 of the needle guard to be released from their seat in theannular groove 136 and to pivot inwards into the catheter hub until, as seen inFig. 1B , theend walls 130 overlap one another at a location distally in front of the needle tip, thereby to form a barrier that prevents inadvertent contact with, and distal movement of, the needle tip. At the same time, the clamping edges 146 of the needle guard are urged against the needle tip to restrict further axial movement of the needle. - As also shown in
Fig. 1B , theneedle guard 120 and the needle clamped to the needle guard after needle retraction can be removed from the catheter hub as a unitary assembly, and safely discarded. If an attempt is made, intentionally or inadvertently, to pull the needle further to the right, as viewed inFig. 1B , out of the needle guard, thebulge 138 on the needle shaft will come into contact with theend wall 126, and since its diameter is greater than that ofopening 134, theend wall 126 will at this point prevent any further axial movement of the needle out of the needle guard.
